Prague: Perfect Mix of New + Old

Prague was the last stop on our fairy tale city tour.  It was a magnificent finale - we arrived just in time for their Christmas market to open and along with it - a blast of cold air!  We had a few cold, but beautiful days in Prague.  We were impressed with how such a medieval city could also have such new, modern features.  You'll see a few snaps of some of the modern below:

The Castle District - seen high on the hill below - is the city's most distinguishing feature.  We had mostly dreary weather, but in our last hours, the clouds cleared and we caught this view:


We also enjoyed the opening night of its Christmas Market.  The main square was packed with revelers, but P managed to catch this shot of their massive Christmas tree:


This is outside the Castle District.  A mix of the old castle with my new shoes!  I got my cool pair of Botas (redesigned from the Communist era) - I <3 them!


St. Vittrius Cathedral was awe inspiring.  Just stunning architecture and stained glass:


A close up of some of the amazing stained glass and decor:


View of the red roofs of Prague from the Castle!


Check out the modern street art found in a random corner of the city:


And Frank Gehry's Dancing Couple building...architecture was unbelievable:


Prague, we love you!
